SALLY STEELE
Born in Glasgow, Sally is a creative strategist, advisor, mindset mentor, speaker and author.

Since being widowed, Sally speaks and writes of her eternal optimism and genuine appreciation for life in the face of the unimaginable, rediscovering creativity as a healing tool and focusing on living a heart and value-led life of joy, peace, connection, prosperity and purpose.
SPECIAL ME-MADE CHAT!
Our Sewing Manager Laura Jackson will chat all things sewing, community, making and sustainable fashion with some icons of our local me-made community.
An enthusiastic sewist, crafter and all-round creative Laura is our go-to gal for all things me-made. She is a wearer of all things bright and homemade and is our in-house master of all matters stitchy and crafty. This multi-talented human (she is also our People and Culture expert) is our go-to gal for (actual) pep talks, project inspiration and sewing conundrums.
Sue-Ching is a multidisciplinary artist, predominantly working in textiles and soft sculpture. She turned her creative (and anxious) energy to making garments in the first Covid lockdown in 2020 and brings her colourful clothing ideas to life with love and happiness.
KATIE WEYCHARDT (@KatieMakesADress)
Katie, an all times maker and sometimes seller, is the talented and creative sewist behind the account @KatieMakesADress. You may have recently peeped her many versions of the cult-followed Roberts Wood Drafter’s Grid dresses (the first version of which she famously created out of tea towels and almost broke the internet) not to mention her triumphant range of dresses, hand-embroidered boilersuits, shorts, bras and swimwear makes. With a passion for the bright, the patterned, and the bespoke, Katie is more than a little bit inspiring.
ALICE VEIVERS / ALICE NIGHTINGALE
From design to final detail, all Alice Nightingale pieces are made with love by Alice and her team of creatives in her sunny Brisbane studio!
Her focus on using secondhand, vintage and locally produced fabrics means her designs are not only hand made to outlast fast fashion cycles, but are also environmentally and socially sustainable. In late 2009, Alice completed her diploma of fashion design and technology with a goal to create quality clothing in small quantities. Feminine and quirky, her designs are inspired by vintage trends and local flora and fauna.
Jane Milburn established Textile Beat as a purpose-driven business in 2013 to inspire a creative approach to the way we dress, and to embrace natural fibres and upcycling for pleasure, reward and sustainability. She is a sustainability consultant, author of Slow Clothing: finding meaning in what we wear, and a 2019 Churchill Fellow investigating ways that being more hands-on with our clothes can help reduce textile waste and enhance wellbeing. Jane trained as a Climate Reality leader and her work aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
PLUS! A BONUS COMMUNITY SINGALONG
If you came to the last PepTalks event, you’ll know how much of a hit the singalong at the end was. Hillary, the multi-talented founder of Cork and Chroma, is back to round out the night with a tune… nothing beats a good community karaoke to dust off the cobwebs and feel some connection!
